Things To Do
New York State Museum
If history is your thing, check out the New York State Museum (free entry), take a walk around the NY State Plaza to see the Capital building. Short distance down from the Capital building on the Hudson Rivers is the U.S.S. Slater which offers paid tours of the naval ship.
Thacher State Park
Thatcher Park offers gorgeous overlook views of the area. The park has drive up ability for the main viewing area, with various difficulty levels of hikes along the escarpment. Recommend for views or hiking! (Free entry)
Washington Park
Take a walk around Washington Park and the connected Center Square neighborhood! The historic brownstones in the neighborhood make for a beautiful walk (bonus points if you can find Joe and Lisa first apartment on Madison Ave, built in 1875)
Son of Egg
Get the Son of Egg sandwich, you will not be disappointed. (Offers vegan, veg options, closed on Sundays)
The Olde English Pub and Pantry
An English Pub operating out of a historic building, cannot go wrong for food or drinks!
Iron Gate Cafe
Easily our favorite breakfast/brunch location in the area. Highly recommend calling ahead/placing yourself on online reservation queue as they get very busy.
The Skinny Pancake Albany
Do you want a crepe in the morning for breakfast, or at any time of the day? Maybe with a beer? Stop in to the Skinny Pancake located downtown near our listed hotels.
